Senate Denies Endorsing Child Marriage Law by olillywales(m): 9:39pm On Jul 23, 2013 |
The Senate has defended its decision to retain a controversial section of the constitution that seems to support child marriage, asking Nigerians to be calm and understand that the section has nothing to do with marriage, but instead citizenship. http://premiumtimesng.com/news/141543-senate-denies-child-marriage-wrongdoing-says-law-may-be-revisited.html SOURCE- www.metronaija.com/we-will-never-support-child-marriage-senate/ |

Its just a means of passively giving support to child marriage. Cos this explanation means that the 13 year old wife of Yerima can vote whereas a 17 year old unmarried can't. They are saying if u want ur 7yr old daughter to attain the constitutional 'full age' just give her out in marriage That section needs review 32 Likes |

sainty2k3: Its just a means of passively giving support to child marriage.It mean yarima married an underage who can vote. The fact that she is underage and married does not make her an adult even if she is to be regarded as one. It means yarima still broke the law by marring an underage. 5 Likes |

Hi guys, the section under consideration considering the citizenship clause has been controversial and has made Nigerians to refuse the usual complacent nature of ours, however having watched the senate sitting yesterday it was clear that Sen.Yerima and Sen.Goje were both bent on the senate revisiting the issue but I can say affirmatively that the Senators were never in support and will never be in support of that inhumane act of child marriage let's be careful of what we hear from people to avoid misinformation. We stand and say no to child marriage... Meanwhile the section under question has also being misunderstood by the senators themseives the constitutiton says anyone that is of full age must have attained 18years of age so why on earth would they say anyone who is married is deemed to be of full age? Even if that means the person must be 18years and above. We go school na and we understand the use of english. My people we aren't fools. Thank you. 14 Likes |

These people are just contradicting themselves and the nonsense law they made. It is very simple and plain English. A girl is deemed to be full of age once married. This simply means that, even if she's 2 years because she's married, that makes her an adult. What else is there to make noise about? I attended my English classes wella so they should stop defending their twisted fantasies. 3 Likes |

Misinformation galore. Many of those screaming childnotbride could have saved their breath on 29 (4) and looked for the relevant section to attack if they as much as READ the legislation in question. But then since a vast majority of Nigerians DO NOT READ, coupled with the Senator Yerima beef & the bandwagon effect (me too i'm talking, or i'm among), its not hard to see why so much misdirected noise was made over that legislation. Even on nairaland here, some people were still writing epistles and stating categorically that "Nigeria wanted to introduce a law allowing child marriage" when the issue at hand was actually the removal or retention of a certain clause in a section devoted entirely to citizenship and which in actual fact had to do with giving an edge or not to women who were under 18 but married. It is also not surprising why our leaders have continued to do nonsense, get away with it and still get voted again by people. WE DON'T READ. We never bother to find out just how much cra..p or otherwise we are getting from the leaders. I hope that from now, especially by 2015, Nigerians will for once actually use their active campaign mentality for something good rather than relying on sentiments as usual. 15 Likes |
